New pinephone user feedback
#1
Hola fellow pines.

New pinephone user here. Picked up the KDE Plasma, which arived on Monday. The pre-loaded manjora distro is super buggy. I ended up tossing UT on a microSD, and it's a huge improvement.

Looking forward to playing with and testing these distros, and supporting the devs anyway I can.

My goal with the pinephne is to have a DD'able, secure device free from Google and Apple's data harvesting. I only want to be able to make calls, send SMS, browse the web, etc. A usable 2FA app would be a plus.

I will say, I was stoked to see WiFi Scanner in the OpenStore. I can see that being a very useful tool at work. I believe there used to be a similar app for iOS, but it's not available anymore.

Anyhow, figured I'd say hello and I look forward to conversing with you all.

Cheers

I'm new too. I bought the 3gb PostmarketOS, expecting it to arrive Monday. Been using Ubuntu server and desktop for 10 years now,,
the Linux phone will be a learning curve for sure. I look forward to the multi-OS sd card to try a few out.

I am sure to be back with questions. Looking forward to learning here.
